LoL they're are stressing me out ! I want warmer chips to suit them (don't know which ones !)

I've got 2x600w vipar. 5x cxm22 60w 3500k 600w mh. 1000w hps. AND 7 of these bleddy things.

sick score bro. I'd throw some new cobbs on them, wire 2 per driver or something and get a few left over drivers for some other projects.

I need to hit the scrap yard!

Played around with one of them. Increased the amps and it pulled 250w at at about 1.4amps. Approx.

Waiting for some extra funds and I'm going to get some new cobs.

In the mean time I'm veging (experimenting) with 4 of these lights @150w 0.6amps each. The clones are loving it. Getting lots of new growth. That's what the meter is telling me anyway.

Oh Ya, those cobs will veg juuuust fine.

People power their LEDs with voltages sources now? Shows how out of the loop I've been.

Had to drill new screw holes as the new cob is much smaller. 3 more lights to set up. Haven't decided what power to run them at yet.
I also found out I'm shit at soldering.

I find that waiting until the iron is HOT HOT really helps. Tinning the wires and whatever you are joining prior to soldering the connection also makes for a great join. I use a weller and it's a great lil soldering station. Had a pos back in the day that was a headache to use, but anything weller makes or better ($40 price range and up? ) should be adequate.

I'm so jealous of all those free drivers still....

This is literally the best find of this decade. Sweet..
